ITBE 19 employees Educational support (curriculum development) Training ICT in education Quality management 12 employees (staff) 42 employees Scientific information Library 81 employees PC management User support Telco & systems Information provision Automation ITBE is the University of Twente Service Department for Information Technology, Library & Education

ITBE The incentive mechanism for teaching development consists of performance indicators & appraisals, Chair plan and “UFO” INCENTIVE SCHEMES Incentive mechanism for teaching development Description of mechanism Performance indicators Performance appraisal Chair plan Job description system (“UFO”) The university is subject to a planning & control cycle Key part of this cycle are bi-annual meetings between executive board and heads of departments (faculty deans, scientific directors, directors) Support staff (DUB) prepares speaking notes for these meetings Performance indicators (research, education – information on general progress of student population) are always integral part of speaking notes Once a year, the director or faculty dean has a performance appraisal with his direct reports Appraisals cover: performance in previous period, goals for future period and conditions for performance. Prospective career development and decision on required training are included The dean draws up a chair plan in co- operation with the scientific directors involved The plan includes: the fields the chair covers based on educational programmes and research orientation of the academic staff The university has created the possibility to become full professor on the basis of non-research requirements (e.g. education) The universities in the Netherlands have agreed upon harmonised categorisation of job descriptions These job descriptions are based on a ‘ladder’ system. To climb this ladder, certain conditions have to be met Educational requirements are part of the conditions for academic staff
